Musescore Free Music Composition & Notation Software MuseScore Free music composition & notation software Accidental View Edit Revisions Accidentals can be set or changed by dragging an accidental symbol from the accidental palette to a note in the score. If you only want to change the pitch of a note you can also select the note and press: Up : Increase the pitch of a note by one semitone. Down : Decrease the pitch of a note by one semitone. Ctrl + Up : Increase the pitch of a note by one octave. Ctrl + Down : Decrease the pitch of a note by one octave. MuseScore automatically tries to set an appropriate accidental for the changed pitch. If you need to manually correct an accidental or place an cautionary accidental (editorial accidental), then drag an accidental from the accidental palette to the note. If you later change the pitch with cursor keys, manual settings to the accidental are removed. The menu function Notes → Pitch spell tries to guess the right accidentals for the whole score. ‹ Notation up Arpeggio Printer-friendly version Subscribe Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, 2002-2009 Werner MuseScore Free music composition & notation software Arpeggio View Edit Revisions Arpeggios are set by dragging an arpeggio symbol from the arpeggio palette to a note of a chord. ‹ Accidental up Printer-friendly version Subscribe Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, 2002-2009 Werner MuseScore Free music composition & notation software Bar line View Edit Revisions Change bar line type Bar lines are changed by dragging a bar line symbol from the bar line palette to an bar line in the score.

Double click a category to show the full list of instruments in each family. Select an instrument and click "Add". The instrument you selected now appears in the second column.

  • The Roles of Academic Libraries in Shaping Music Publishing in the Digital Age
    The Roles of Academic Libraries in Shaping Music Publishing in the Digital Age Kimmy Szeto Abstract Libraries are positioned at the nexus of creative production, music publishing, performance, and research. The academic library com- munity has the potential to play an influential leadership role in shaping the music publishing life cycle, making scores more readily discoverable and accessible, and establishing itself as a force that empowers a wide range of creativity and scholarship. Yet the music publishing industry has been slow to capitalize on the digital market, and academic libraries have been slow to integrate electronic music scores into their collections. In this paper, I will discuss the historical, technical, and human factors that have contributed to this moment, and the critical next steps the academic library community can take in response to the booming digital music publishing market to make a lasting impact through setting technological standards and best practices, developing education in these technologies and related intellectual property issues, and becoming an active partner in digital music publishing and in innovative research and creative possibilities. Introduction Academic libraries have been slow to integrate electronic music scores into their collections even though electronic resources are considered integral to library services. The Association of College and Research Libraries con- siders electronic resources integral to information literacy, access to re- search, and collection policies in academic libraries (ACRL 2006a, 2006b). Collection development surveys conducted by the National Center for Educational Statistics indicate electronic books, database subscriptions, and electronic reference materials constitute roughly half the materials LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol. 67, No. 2, 2018 (“The Role and Impact of Commercial and Noncom- mercial Publishers in Scholarly Publishing on Academic Libraries,” edited by Lewis G.
